I came back from vacation with the Sox and Phils in about the same spots they were when I left. The Phils are a little better off, tied for second place in the division with Atlanta at 3.5 games back. They are only one game behind the Padres for the NL wild card.

Now that I think about it...they are better off than when I left.

The Sox were 7 games behind the Yankers when I left. Yesterday, it was 5, but now we're back to six. The good news is that the Yankers play the AL Central leading Indians, while the Red Sox play the cellar based Orioles. Looking at the schedules for New York and Boston from now until the end, the major challenge for both might be each other. The Yankers still need to play the Angels (in not in Yanker Stadium) and recently slumping Detroit. But the Sox and Yankers play two more series against each other, one in Boston and one in New York.
